The big day is here! Tonight at Verizon Center, the Washington Capitals take on the New York Islanders for the first game of the playoffs. There’s a ton going on in our world today, so we addressed a small portion of it and a whole lot of nonsense for an hour of RMNB podcast inanity.

We discuss Ian’s punk rock education, the Swedish national temperament, losing Grabo, Flipcup Forsberg, Barry Trotz’s retractable head, which ASOIAF house the Caps would be in, which songs the Beatles wrote on LSD, and taking scoarpik to the bank. We also talk our picks for the playoffs, how the Caps stack up against the Isles, what the future of this team is. It’s an hour of hockey power. Enjoy!
